Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Undertones
My heart is heavy as my eyes are dim
Even color is black and white in the self-made grim
I am a drop of water circling the drain
Letting out every ounce of myself
Staging joys with the undertone of whispering pain
Growth between celebration
Moments don’t last
All I have are memories
A beautiful and tortured past
Living lifetimes, side by side
Humble beginnings versus the height of my pride
Love told true in sincerity, in action lied
Lost inside duality
The sinner and the justified…
Even color is black and white in the self-made grim
I am a drop of water circling the drain
Letting out every ounce of myself
Staging joys with the undertone of whispering pain
Growth between celebration
Moments don’t last
All I have are memories
A beautiful and tortured past
Living lifetimes, side by side
Humble beginnings versus the height of my pride
Love told true in sincerity, in action lied
Lost inside duality
The sinner and the justified…

Depression lingers
Much like the fog hovering over a lake,
The depression lingers and my life is at stake.
Like the moss clinging onto the rocks on the coast line,
I have many triggers and it feels like each one is a land mine.
Just like the animals in a zoo pacing the grounds craving freedom from their cages,
I too find myself trapped in constant emotional stages.

Rejected offer
Why are you so mad and filled with hate?
I’m willing to start over.
I’m offering a clean slate.
You claim that my offer isn’t good enough.
You call my existence a joke.
Holding back the tears you cause used to be tough.
It doesn’t really hurt anymore.
I’m honestly numb.
It gave me insight and knowledge as if I were a bookstore.

Hemorrhage
My hands are bleeding.
My heart is reaching,
Weeping and weary
For a sign of life.
There is nothing left in the skies.
I close myself behind my eyes.
Everything is clear within these veils
In the stillborn land of the untold.
And I swim against the current
Of my hemorrhaging eternity
To see if there was anything
I felt as you once felt me.
What follows the long night of the spirit?
Is all as dark as it seems?
Why swells my slumber to disinherit
The bridge between our dreams?

Together 4Ever
There's a cottage in the forest, way back into the darkness under the trees
There's snow on the roof and icicles on the eaves
The hearth is always cold giving off a freezing breeze
Believe it or not, it's the perfect place to grieve
Pictures of you line the walls keeping the heat out
My emotional prison, sentenced here to live the rest of my life out
Sheets of ice covers the windows instead of bars
I'm not allowed outside although the door is slightly ajar
Snowflakes fall like leaves all over the courtyard and trees
There is no...
There's snow on the roof and icicles on the eaves
The hearth is always cold giving off a freezing breeze
Believe it or not, it's the perfect place to grieve
Pictures of you line the walls keeping the heat out
My emotional prison, sentenced here to live the rest of my life out
Sheets of ice covers the windows instead of bars
I'm not allowed outside although the door is slightly ajar
Snowflakes fall like leaves all over the courtyard and trees
There is no...

So sadly tempered
much too accustomed to cold
embers extinguish

Rainy Streets
Rainy Streets
Friends washed out to sea
So like a dream upon waking
Yet so real as an apartment
Where quiet gathers like spirits
Whose memory sings to a Celtic beat
Soft as a lullaby on rainy streets
Where babies wail and widowers cry
Friends washed out to sea
So like a dream upon waking
Yet so real as an apartment
Where quiet gathers like spirits
Whose memory sings to a Celtic beat
Soft as a lullaby on rainy streets
Where babies wail and widowers cry

No More Tears to Shed
What can one do, with so much hatred
Built up fury, caged inside?
All my tears I’ve used
Abused
I own no more to shed
If I stole some back, there would be sin
A stain or two, some smears
I’m afraid I’d waste those tears again
So tell me, what can one do
To set these vices free?
I’ve carried them so long
They are my property
I’ve tried selling them, through various methods
I call them “tricks of the street”
You learn them from other prisoners
Who squandered tears so carelessly
Now that...

If only
Day after day I’m wrestling with my inner demons.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.
Sometimes they attack without reasons.
If only I could pin them down.
Night after night I become more and more restless.
Constantly running from these demons leaves me breathless.
If only I could out run them.
Time after time I find my thoughts spiraling out of control.
Internally I’ve died and with this grief I can’t be consoled.
If only I could take back the authority I once held.

No buried treasure
Lately I’ve been feeling like a pirate ship and depression is the anchor weighing me down.
Like the titanic suicidal thoughts are the ice burg that’s causing me to drown.
At least when a pirate ship docks at the shore they have treasure to find,
While my treasure has no X and seems to only exist in my mind.
Like the titanic suicidal thoughts are the ice burg that’s causing me to drown.

Caring
I haven’t lost the caring
I no long care
One is the act
The other is in thought
I no long care
One is the act
The other is in thought
